Summary
AI may be accelerating private equity dealmaking in Latin America, but it cannot substitute for the institutional knowledge held by law firms, according to panellists speaking at Latin Lawyer's Private Equity event. The speakers argued that the technology boom presents an opportunity for legal practitioners to convert accumulated market expertise into a competitive advantage.
